How to get wireless

su4stu

I have a pc at home which is connected to aol broadband via my phoneline. I have just bought a laptop for my business which is wireless enabled and need to find out how to get wireless in my home. I would prefer my pc to be able to use this too and wonder if anyone could offer any advice on how to go about this? Sorry for being stupid but I really have no clue on how to do this.

Tell AOL that you are going to leave them, unless they give you a free wireless router like they give to new customers! See the AOL thread on the internet board as I would bet that you could also get it cheaper.

When you get the wireless router, your pc will need a usb wireless adapter but its better to use a network cable instead for the pc.

Unfortunately, I'm tied into a 12 month contract with aol, not due to finish until December. Is there any way I can strike a deal with them even although I can't leave them until then?

Try reading AOL threads on the internet board.
